Shoe Store (cont'd)

we painted our arms and printed them-the paintings looked like x-rays of our arm bones!

 We've had a lot of learning happening in our classroom during our shoe store unit!

The shoe store continues it's popularity-sometimes we (teachers) join in and quietly add to the play conversation to draw children in. 

each box in this stack has a matched pair of shoes-industrious children!

"we made our faces and ate them" 

we get outside!

a child asked to learn the alphabet this day-and since this is a class of 4 and 5 year olds of course there were other interested children who covered white boards with letters.  

One of our favorite projects-the band-aid book. Each child has their arm traced, then they cover it with bandaids and dictate a story about their picture. The children's stories were very detailed!

The Middle School Spanish Class came in with Jen to introduce the children to Spanish vocabulary to do with their bodies-

 mi cuerpo-my body
ojos-eyes
nariz-nose
boca-mouth
oreja-ear
cabeza-head







here's Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes in Spanish:

Cabeza, hombros, rodillas
y dos pies
Cabeza, hombros, rodillas
y dos pies

Ojos, oidos, boca y una nariz
Cabeza, hombros, rodillas
y dos pies

English Translation

Head, shoulders, knees
And two feet
Head, shoulders, knees
And two feet

Eyes, ears, mouth and a nose
Head, shoulders, knees
And two feet

and sang a song with us!
